Well the general perception of Claiborne is that he's a bust but since Bama fans wanna make the rules on what's a bust and what's not to fit their narrative then I guess Claiborne isn't a bust

Their rules change when it serves them. Instead of admitting a majority of their 1st rounders are bust or play well below the draft expectations they change the rules to make all the other teams busts not bust either.

Kinda looks like Bama recruits outperform other recruits in terms of being drafted high, then it also looks like Bama player outperform other players in terms of production for 1st rounders. This isn't us changing the rules, this is us pointing out how false your narrative has been all along.

horseshite!

Personally, I don't give a shite what they do at the pro level as long as they perform while on Bama's roster and keep the machine running for this dynasty. Collecting NFL first rounders helps the "Built by Bama" brand and adds fuel on the recruiting trail.

It's damn sure a better alternative than watching your team tally up FIVE 1st rounders in the last decade.

You do realize that Alabama has next to nothing to do with how well a player performs after they graduate. It's the team that drafts them and the organization behind them. Case in point Mark Ingram.

You were foaming at the mouth calling him a bust. Yet now he has been to back to back Pro Bowls and is universally hailed as one of the best backs in the league. What changed? Nothing one his part. He had the same drive and determination he always had. The only thing that changed was the Saint's HC realized it's not illegal to run the ball.


Bama led the league in Pro Bowlers the last 3 seasons. They will again this year.
